Metal Mouth Message Board

Well, now that i see this i recall that i had a brief honeymoon period when everything was new with braces, i could see lots of movement and everything surrounding orthodontics was new and fresh. Lately i have been feeling quite tired and bored (really bored) of these metallic little things, and i w...

Female, 30, from Cordoba, Argentina. I know there are some other latin americans around here...please post!

Thanks for posting this thread! I completely agree with Brandyleigh35, sometimes it is just annoying having to go and look for wax when you are in a middle of a situation that you just don't want to interrupt...

I hate my cleats, by the way...
Thanks for sharing!

The loops in the archwire work really fast...I wore a looped archiwire for 5 months and at first it was a little difficult for me to adapt to the loops, they were quite annoying...but they did the job. If you want to see some pics of how these things worked out for me you can visit my journal...(i k...

Can I join the complaint? I have had these things in my upper molar bands more than a year already. When I asked, my ortho told me exactly the same as yours told you, steak . Since then, I've been patiently waiting for an expander or anything that would make this cleats useful, but no, nothing. I wa...

I know, I guess I would be feeling exactly the same, is like splitting debanding day into two but I think that you will be so happy with your naked teeth that you will forget about the bottoms for a while!

You are almost there!

Congrats on your progress, ghotieyes. That overjet is reducing fast and the progress on your lowers is awesome. Keep us posted!

Thanks for your post, KK. That is terrible that you had to be hospitalized! I have to start drinking more water right away since I kind of like caffeine sodas...mmm...too bad. I'm planning to quit on that this year and now I have an extra reason to do so. Thanks for the info!!

Wow, I didn't know that sodas could have such a similar effect as alcohol in the mouth. Never noticed that, but is good to know.

A year in braces!!! Today, exactly, is my braces birthday! :D A year ago I was suffering at my ortho's chair wondering how these things would look in my face. I can't believe how fast this year went by. Well, I have been very, very busy by the end of the past year so for one reason or another I did...

Thanks for your answers! I think that your comments are really great, and help me see things in a different perspective. I think you are right, PrincessMelody , this remaining treatment time can be an opportunity to getting to know more about him. The fact is that I'm not really sure if I like him o...

Ok, here is how this story goes: My ortho has an assistant who happens to be his mother and a dentist as well. This was kind of a good thing when I decided to go with the treatment almost a year ago. Over the months I found out that this woman is a good and friendly person who loves to chat about al...

Don't you find amazing that so many of us are still replying to this post? Damn, we are curious!!!
